BOOK

Talk : the science of conversation and the art of being ourselves

Brooks, Alison Wood, author

2025

Overview

A leading Harvard professor shows how we can all become better at conversation - and why this will help us all thrive. Conversation is at the heart of our relationships and our decision-making. From meeting a colleague to saying goodnight to our loved ones, our days are filled with verbal communication - but the science of everyday conversation is little known. We may spend time thinking about difficult exchanges, but research shows that there's room to improve seemingly easy interactions too. In 'Talk', Harvard professor Alison Wood Brooks shows how simple changes in how we communicate can enhance our relationships, our performance at work and our lives; who we talk to affects our happiness; and how to talk across differences.
